Winding Sticks

Over the last week I have been working on a lot of hand tools projects to help with making projects. Here is two sets of winding sticks I made to help with flattening boards. These both started from a log that I split, flattened and ripped into the winding stick strips. They have a dowel inlay from poplar. What other “helpers” do you all have for handtool work? I also created a doe’s foot and birdsmouth for helping with rough stock prep as well. If you'd like to see the process check out the video here.
